I argue that the same is true when we listen to recordings of events being played back over speakers of headphones: a recording of someone strumming a guitar does not sound like a real-life guitar being strummed. #### Design in *Forme della Tecnica* (ed. Maurizio Guerri) (forthcoming) with [[Enrico Terrone]] [paper coming soon] #### [[The Process]] Aesthetics of Music Why do we enjoy listening to a favourite piece of music over and over? I argue that it is because listening to music is a creative act. Through directing and redirecting our attention, we can create unique experiences of a musical work every time we listen. #### Scrivere poesia con GPT4: la sfida di scolpire versi con l'IA *Agenda Digitale* (2023) with [[Enrico Terrone]] and Marcello Frixione Full Text #### Sad Spectra and Minor Melodies Drawing on recent work in the psychology of music, I argue that music in the minor key sounds sad because it resembles the spectra of a sad tone of voice.
